ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC Overview
The Belimo ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC is a 2-way, 1 in. NPT on/off zone valve assembly that pairs the ZONE225N-80 forged brass valve body (Cv 8, 20 psi close-off) with the ZONE120NC AC 120 V normally closed spring return actuator.
It is built for fan coil units, baseboards and other hydronic applications where fail-safe operation on 2-wire control is required, in systems with variable or constant flow, and handles chilled or hot water with up to 50% glycol from 32 to 212°F.
When power is removed, the actuator spring returns the valve to its closed position. The actuator runs on AC 120 V, 50/60 Hz, draws 6.5 W in operation and connects with 6 in. wire leads.
Best For
- Fan coil units, baseboards and other hydronic terminal equipment
- Applications that need fail-safe operation on 2-wire control
- Hydronic systems with variable or constant flow
- Chilled or hot water service with up to 50% glycol
- AC 120 V line-voltage control circuits
Warranty
The Belimo ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC carries a 2-year Belimo warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cv and close-off pressure of the Belimo ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC?
The ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC has a Cv of 8 in a 1 in. 2-way valve body, a 20 psi close-off pressure, a 300 psi body pressure rating and ANSI Class III 0.1% leakage.
What happens to the Belimo ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC when power is lost?
The ZONE120NC is a normally closed spring return actuator. When power is removed, the spring returns the valve to its closed position.
What power supply does the ZONE120NC actuator need?
AC 120 V, 50/60 Hz. It draws 6.5 W in operation, is sized at 7 VA for transformer selection and connects with 6 in. wire leads.
Can the Belimo ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC be opened manually?
Yes. The ZONE120NC has a hand lever manual override. Moving the manual opening lever to the locked position opens the valve, and the lever unlocks automatically when power is applied.
How should the Belimo ZONE225N-80+ZONE120NC be installed?
Install the valve vertically or horizontally, but not upside down. Flow is from port A to port B, and the valve must be installed so the paddle closes against the direction of flow. The 2-way valve can go on the supply or the return, following the flow arrow on the valve body.
